Although BestWeb's MIME file is said to properly index the .wp5
extension, I've changed the extensions of these files to .doc so that
a Microsoft Word plug-in will take them, and maybe recognize and
convert automatically. They're in semi-tabular form, so they don't
render as plain text so well, and I'm too lazy to convert them to HTML.

A humorous piece I wrote around 1985. Don Meinshausen, mentioned
therein, says he's also mentioned in the book, recently reviewed in Reason,
A Generation Divided: The New Left, the New Right, and the 1960s,
by Rebecca Klatch.

I was involved with the Libertarian Party since I sent $5 to the
MacBride for President campaign in 1976 (having heard about LP in the
years immediately preceding) until I quit membership at the end of
2002. During the 1990s I began a long process of reconsideration until
I came to the conclusion it'd been a mistake for libertarians in the
USA to have their own political party -- a conclusion that some came to
at the inception of LP, and that more came to after a decade or two.
Since then I've been trying to convince as many libertarian activists
as possible to quit the LP and do their politicking and propagandizing
via other organizations. Here are links to essays explaining my
reasons:

This one explains
how LP produces, unavoidably, a bad clash between educational and
electoral concerns.

This one is about how neither
a spoiling nor a winning strategy can work for LP.

This one says that
even a realignment of party politics as desired by many libertarian
activists and observers would likely have untoward consequences.

This one seeks to counter the
malign inward focus that LP produces ineluctably and hampers activism.
